Jim Lad got a reaction from popeye the sailor in SD-14 Cargo ship by Kevin - SD-14 Model Company - 1/70 - CARD - middle section
Kevin,
The colour would be very much 'take your pick', but here are two photos looking down the hatches of two different ships in the late 60's for reference. Some (but certainly not all) cargo ships of the period had permanent wooden ceiling on the tank tops.

Jim Lad got a reaction from ggrieco in Francis Pritt by Jim Lad - FINISHED - Scale 1:48 - Australian Mission Ship
There is a lock on the cabinet, Michael, but it only keeps out visitors - not 'helpful' staff.

Thanks, Pat. Sometimes I think it's a pity that the careful staff aren't a bit more helpful!

Thanks, Druxey. While most of the museum staff are very professional, I do sometimes wonder where some of them come from!

Thanks Popeye.
Mum-in-law has early stage dementia, so no hope of real improvement, I'm afraid.
As for the crutch, I made it early as it's a bit of a tricky fit into the tow rail, so I did it prior to fixing the mizzen mast while there was plenty of room to play with it.

Jim Lad got a reaction from pete48 in Francis Pritt by Jim Lad - FINISHED - Scale 1:48 - Australian Mission Ship
Back from some time in England looking after my ailing mother-in-law and back at work on the 'Pritt'. Not much more done at the moment, but at least the upper deadeyes have been seized in so I can really go ahead with the rigging now.
ne disappointment on returning to the museum was to discover that the staff had decided to clean the model makers' display cabinet and on moving the 'Pritt' out to clean the cabinet they managed to lose the boom crutch that had been completed and was sitting on the cabin top awaiting fitting.
The photos show the minor progress that has been made.
